.dev domain — straight answers
How much does a .dev domain cost?
The lowest first-year price is $10.78 at Cloudflare, then $10.78 to renew/yr. Over 3 years the cheapest total cost of ownership is $32.34. The median renewal across the 6 registrars we compare is $13.79/yr, so picking the cheapest scores 60/100 on value.
Where is the cheapest place to renew a .dev domain?
Cloudflare has the lowest ongoing renewal at $10.78/yr. Renewal — not the first-year promo — is what you pay every year, so it's the number that matters most for a domain you keep. Across all 6 registrars the annual renewal ranges from $10.78 to $16.98.
Is the first-year price a trap?
For .dev the cheapest first year ($10.78) is in line with its renewal ($10.78/yr), so there's no bait-and-switch here. We still rank by 3-year total cost rather than the headline first-year price, because a cheap first year elsewhere can hide a steep renewal.
